2 COURSE TITLE: Plant Genetic Resources OBJECTIVES The objective of this subject is that the students become conscious of the importance of plant genetic resources in the present and future feeding of the world population, as well as informing them of the increasing risk of genetic erosion caused by modern agriculture. To achieve the global objectives the students have to know the strategies of recovery, conservation and management of these natural resources, as well as the structure of national and international organisms and their activities for the safeguard of plant genetic resources. In addition, the patents international system and its effects on the development of new cultivars is presented, with an important emphasis being made on the impact of new biotechnologies. EVALUATION As it is a half-yearly subject, for the theory part only one exam will be made. This exam will include practical questions on the acquired knowledge (70% of the final mark). Furthermore, each student will present a discussion work on a contemporary issue on plant genetic resources (30% of the final mark). Assistance to practice sessions will be compulsory. COURSE TITLE: Plant Genetic Resources CONTENTS: THEORY (1/2) Theme 1. Introduction Biodiversity: What is it and why it is necessary? 1.2. The Neolithic revolution and the origins of agriculture. Domestication, centers of origin and diversity of cultivated plants Genetic diversity Man induced diversification. The first movements of plants. Harlan s cycle of diversification-hybridization. Trade routes. The encounter of two worlds The need for developing complementary strategies for conservation Native populations and conservation. Plant breeding and uniformity. The Green Revolution.

Characterization and evaluation Measurement of genetic variation (including descriptors lists) Morphological and physiological characters Cytological characters Biochemical (isozymes) markers Molecular markers (RAPD, RFLP, SSRs, AFLP, etc.) Characterization and evaluation by farmers Data analysis (introduction to genetical statistics, diversity indexes) Data management Design and development of databases Publication of results, catalogues. Theme 9. Documentation General concepts Design and use of databases. Theme 10. Germplasm utilization Uses and types of users (importance of sustainability). Research. Introduction of plants. Selection. Plant breeding. Utilization by local populations (ethnobotany, community forestry, farmers breeding, etc.) Obstacles for the utilization and how to overcome them.
